Arnob Alan Elias Honors Level Questions: 1) As part of her new gardening delirium, Andrea wants to make something to place all her gardening pots in a very special area. She wants to carve out a square marble tile with an area of 8 + 2 15. She uses a precision cutter in whichthe length being cut must be in the form 𝑎 + 𝑏. After cutting out her tile, she notices shecan cut out another rectangular segment of the 1 marble using double her original tile’s side length as the width, and 3 of the rectangular segment’s width as the length. What is the area of this new segment? 2) In her early days, Principal Hoyle was an avid chemistry teacher and loved performing some of her own experiments. During one boring day in the lab, she decides to mix Bohemic Acid, Rudolphomycin, and Nitrofurantoin. After extensive help from the math department, she came up with the following formula to calculate the remaining volume of her concoction after all 4 5 reactions have occurred: 2𝑦 − 16 - 1 (ml),where y = moles of Bohemic Acid. a. If she observed 7 ml of solution to remain, how many moles of Bohemic Acid did she use? b. The Chemistry Department requests 150ml of Principal Hoyle’s concoction as part of a class lab. How many moles of Bohemic Acid will Principal Hoyle need in order to fulfill the request? 3) Bronx Science has experienced heavy budget cuts due to recent changes in the government’s educational funding. As a result, Mr. Yang unexpectedly loses his job, and will have to resort to alternative methods of earning an income. On a chilly Friday night, he walks into the casino and turns to gambling in hopes of earning quick cash. He plays a high risk game 3 3 4 2 where the winnings are rigged by the following formula: 216𝑦 𝑥 𝑧 3 3 4 2 + 8𝑦 𝑥 𝑧 , where y = dollars bet (in thousands), x = number of times played, and z = number of people in the casino a. Rewrite the formula as a single expression b. If Mr. Yang were to deposit $1200, with 100 people in the casino, and play the game 15 times, what are his “estimated” winnings? 4) After several unfortunate losses, Mr. Yang, being a clever former math teacher, decides to derive a complex formula to calculate a “risk-factor” based on his gambling patterns. This formula computes a risk multiplier, where a lower value represents a safer future bet, and vice versa. His derived formula is as follows: 3 3 −4 3 2 −3 8𝑥 𝑦 • (4𝑥 𝑦) 3 −5 −2 −2 • (2𝑥 𝑦 ) , where x = number of risky bets he placed, and lost from and where y = number of safe, strategic bets he won from a. Simply Mr. Yang’s risk multiplier, in terms of x and y. b. Based on your simplification from Part A, how do Mr. Yang’s past actions and experience affect his proposed risk level? 5) Alan is a famous and prosperous architect, and has been personally selected by the prime minister of Dubai to construct an extremely lavish and modern skyscraper window shaped as a rhombus. To maximize aesthetic appeal and public support, the prime minister orders Alan to 4 ensure that d1 = 6 and d2= 2 80, where d1and d2 represent the diagonals of the rhombus. Alan has a super fancy, automatic glass cutter that can only cut in lengths formatted in 𝑎 + 𝑏. Considering Alan will cut out the window from a large piece of glass, what measurements does Alan need to input in his glass cutter? 6) NASA is engineering their brand new rocket ship which they will use to discover and research exoplanets. They have designed a new type of rocket fuel that travels at a lightning fast speed of 2 6 + 2 2 light years per hour. In orderto reach the exoplanet of K2-2016-BLG-0005-Lb, they need to travel a total of 5 3 + 2 light years. Assuming they have a sufficient amount of fuel, for how long will the astronauts need to travel to reach K2-2016-BLG-0005-Lb?Simplify as necessary 7) Jacob is an enthusiastic software engineer that was hired by Google to help produce their new futuristic artificial intelligence software. He is currently writing an algorithm that will enable 6 the AI to read words at a lighting fast speed of 8 million words per second. He wants to run a stress-test on the AI, in which it will read words from a digital copy of Lord of The Rings, 4 containing 25million words. When Jacob runsthe stress test, how many seconds will it take the AI to read all the words? 8) The number 512 can be rewritten to be expressedin the format𝑎 𝑏. Using the values ofa andb, compute (2ab)(b 𝑎) 9) Rewrite (2 3 − 3 2)2 ( 4 3 + 2 2) suchthat there are only two radical signs.
